i don't see what's causing the error and i can't reproduce myself.
probably due to stupid libtool sending stderr to /dev/null. it makes the assumption that if the pic object compiled fine, then the non-pic object will as well, so it sends all non-pic output to /dev/null. this avoids double warning output, but does cause issues in cases like this. you'll want to add -no-suppress to all libtool invocations to avoid this ... but i dont think you can cheat with CFLAGS="-no-suppress" :/
Reopen if you can reproduce this with 0.11.
